FTP is designed as a simple mechanism, which can exchange files between computers when the new network and information security are not yet mature. In the 1970s, if you wanted to protect your server from unnecessary access, you just had to lock the computer room door. User access to data is controlled by the basic user ID and password scheme. At this time, the Internet does not exist yet, and the PC revolution will take ten years. Nowadays, the security of business file transfer has become the focus of enterprise protection, especially in computing systems, and file transfer between enterprises and even in cross-border transfer has become crucial for the development of global economy. However, the original native FTP function of TCP/IP is not designed for the file transfer requirements of modern enterprises connecting the whole world. At the same time, due to the progress of network detection technology, the proliferation of hackers, malicious software, and millions of network users, the basic security mechanism of FTP has long been unable to prevent. Risks associated with file transfer using FTP: 1. The native FTP does not encrypt data; 2. When logging in, the user name and password are transmitted in clear text and are easy to identify; 3. FTP scripts and batch files save user ID and password publicly, which is vulnerable to hacker attacks; 4. FTP is used alone, it does not meet the compliance requirements; 5. When using FTP connection, the transmitted data may be "copied" to the remote computer, and may not even reach the intended destination. This possibility will expose your data to third parties and hackers; 6. Regular FTP itself does not maintain file transfer records. Isn't it time you replaced your FTP server? It's time to make a change. First, check how FTP is applied in the enterprise. Secondly, determine how your enterprise manages and protects everyone's file transfer.

If you are using various file transfer and file synchronization tools, you need to think about whether these tools can meet your specific needs? A one-stop file transfer solution may be more suitable for your needs, such as meeting the requirements of file transfer compliance, simple deployment, no need to spend more time for R&D personnel to maintain the requirements of the system, to ensure the needs of safe and high-speed large file transfer, etc. Think about whether the company's existing tools can perfectly meet your business needs: Are company employees still using e-mail, chat software, and other channels to send important company documents? Does transferring large files or transferring files over long distances take too much time for employees? Do R&D personnel need to maintain the company's various file transfer and file synchronization systems at all times? Is file synchronization manual operation? Do you need to be on duty? Can you ensure that every data sharing and downloading by employees is safe? Is it possible to ensure that the uploading, downloading, and sharing of important company documents are transparent and traceable? You will find that the operation of data exchange by employees is not standardized, and every data exchange there is a risk of leakage or misuse. Raysync has been focusing on providing enterprises with one-stop large file transfer solutions since its establishment. Based on cloud computing, the Internet, and big data architecture applications, the independently developed Raysync ultra-high-speed transmission protocol breaks through the transmission defects of traditional FTP and HTTP.

Reason 1: Sensitive Medical Records The medical records of patients are very sensitive, so medical institutions must be particularly vigilant in protecting their data. In an industry that involves the constant movement and updating of patient records, a strong method is needed to protect data. The medical industry needs more professional file transfer solutions. Reason 2: Medical Reports Transfer Is Slow Medical industry pain points: There are many hospital departments and medical staff, and the transfer of medical reports of dozens or hundreds of terabytes is slow, which affects the progress of research and the release of results. There are many patients. Treatment data at different stages need to be tracked and recorded to facilitate better observation of the disease. The huge data of the patient’s recovery situation is too scattered, the transmission and interaction of treatment progress records lack timeliness. Massive treatment plan data needs to be transmitted, and the information interaction links of different personnel in the same department lack unified visual transmission details. Patient's disease information and doctor's research results require extremely high confidentiality. Use A Professional File Transfer Tool Why not use a professional file transfer tool? Raysync transfer server is installed in the cloud data center, and the branches of each department are directly connected to the cloud database using a browser to realize high-speed file exchange between each department and the cloud data center. Advantages of using Raysync high-speed file transfer solutions in the medical industry： Raysync self-developed high-speed file transfer protocol helps various departments of the hospital to achieve an extremely fast transfer of data files, and through Raysync accelerated patent protocol, compression transfer, and other technologies to ensure efficient data exchange. Using the world's top financial level AES-256 encrypted transfer, promises the medical team and patient data security escort. Breakpoint resumable transfer, automatic error retransmission, and other mechanisms to ensure the integrity of file transfer. Detailed audit trails for each file transmission user, every file transmission, sharing, download, and other operations, to ensure that the file transmission process is checkable and controllable, traceable. Conclusion Medical data, including biological data, and personal information of patients are very important, and how to transfer the important and huge medical data is also vital for the medical industry. In addition to that, the huge amount of medical data also needs to be done with the help of professional transfer software. These two reasons are enough to explain why the medical industry needs file transfer solutions.

Transferring large files is critical for most businesses, but how do you ensure that the files are suitable for the right person, and not others? When considering factors such as security, bulk transfer and tracking, companies need more than a one-stop solution, but also need to share files and send large files with employees, customers and trading partners. Why is it So Hard to Send Large Files? Enterprise send large file transfer status 1. Slow Transmission Speed a. Large file transmission In the transmission process, there are transmission problems such as low transmission speed and high delay. b. Low bandwidth utilization, slow upload, and download of large files, which reduces the efficiency of the enterprise. For example, enterprise cross-region employee file transfer, enterprise, and cross-region customer file transfer, enterprise cross-region IT system file transfer. 2. High Latency and Easy Packet Loss Cross-region file transfers can easily cause long delays, serious packet loss, and low rates. 3. Security Flaws a. Using FTP transmission mode, too many open transmission ports, the firewall is subject to attacks such as hackers, virus attacks, resulting in transmission security is not guaranteed. b. Failure to transmit large amounts of data promptly causes data errors, and manual error checking is too cumbersome. c. Sending large files in the form of receiving and sending hard disks. Once lost, the consequences are unimaginable. d. Too frequent FTP transfers cause firewalls to be attacked, resulting in information leakage. e. A large number of files cannot be transferred in one go, and files are easily lost. 4. Lack of Stability Large files cannot be transmitted completely, and packet loss is likely to occur during the transmission process, which cannot guarantee data integrity. How to Send Large Files? Enterprise teams need to collaborate across the globe for long-distance cooperation to distribute, share, and exchange TB-level data files, which requires high-speed transmission of big data around the world. Fortunately, whether you send large files to recipients or let users access them in the cloud, there are many options on how to share large files. Depending on your use case, some solutions may be more appropriate than others. Raysync is not affected by distance, file size, and network conditions. The transmission speed can be 100 times faster than FTP, which solves the problems of security and transmission efficiency. The deployment is simple, a pure software solution. There are different solutions for different transfer needs and scenarios. Raysync adopts C/S mode, the server is built on the company's server, and the data is stored on the company's server. In the transfer process, UDP + TCP check and AES-128 data encryption are used to improve the transmission efficiency of the transmission enterprise. In the case of a bad network environment, UDP transferring has higher applicability than TCP transferring. To fight with this worldwide crisis, Raysync rolled out a free trial to help your business better respond to the challenges.

In today's world of a global pandemic, it must have felt anxious for those people who are working in the film and TV production industries. Not only they are unable to go abroad for filming, but they are also restricted everywhere domestically. The spread of the COVID-19 has indefinitely disrupted ongoing plans that were pre-planned meticulously and are forced to find another way out. As for the post-production industry, the majority has even surrendered when it comes to transfer massive amounts of raw footage from one point to another. Fortunately, we could count on the long-standing habits derived from the animation industry and leave this annoying matter to Raysync High-Speed File Transfer Software! A few months back, we were lucky to be offered an opportunity to try out Raysync and the more we used it, the more addicted we became, so much that we forgot to share it out. There are hundreds of products of the same nature such as Caton Cydex, File Catalyst, TransferXL, MASV, AWS, etc. but what makes Raysync stand out? There is a theory that the worst a product is, the more it would try to pretend to be invincible. Likewise, the more powerful a product is, the more understated it is. There are certainly other good products in the market such as Cydex, which is also my favourite personally, but Raysync is one of its kind that is so simple as breathing or drinking water. We mentioned deriving habits from the animation industry in the beginning. In fact, Raysync’s key team is the development team behind the well-known render farm “Fox Renderfarm”. With years of experience in the animation and special effects industry, the team has a deep understanding of the requirements for remote work, file synchronization, multi-access and permission control. It is not a surprise that the team would introduce a product of their own. The whole operating including its interface, processes and functions are quite satisfying. At first glance, the main interface of Raysync actually looks “scarce”, too simple that makes it easy to doubt its capabilities, but this is also one of the problems that most similar products are criticized for: The more setting parameters it showed, the more dedicated support it needed, and thus further away from general users, even further from the targeted group in the film and TV production industry. Raysync's user interface was designed with an "easy-to-use" philosophy in mind that Assistants, Business Personnel, Producers, Directors, Designers, Editors, Compositors, Animators, and even Bosses would figure out how to operate the software at first glance. I have even given it to my friends who work as teachers, screenwriters and designers to try, they could easily figure out how the software works and operate it by intuition. I think Raysync's easy-to-use interface is a highlight for the common users which is very convenient. Now let's look at how many platforms could Raysync support: It's a definite for Windows, Linux is supported as it is essential to large-scale production companies, and macOS is also supported without a doubt considering its popularity in the Audio/Visual field. It should be normal with all the above platforms being supported, but Raysync also supports iOS and that's kind of surprising. I have come across many large file transfer management platforms before, but many of them could only be used on a desktop environment. When it comes to mobile devices, they have always paid less attention to perfecting it with the excuse of security and inconvenience in management. Trust me, imagine bringing an iPad out to discuss a proposal while needing to dig out a scene, a mock-up or something similar, most people would only archive a finished product but rarely note down all the items during production. But as long you have backups periodically, Raysync does come in handy to help you find anything you want within its mobile app that provides viewing and browsing without editing rights, thus eliminating the risk of accidental modification and deletion. Even if you accidentally lost your device, the risk is also minimized. According to Raysync, its Android version is currently under development and I believe it should be on its way to the public soon. Following the introduction of the UI and supported platforms, now let’s talk about Raysync’s transmission method. This is also the main reason why I’ve been mentioning simplicity and security in the previous paragraph, I think people who are familiar with internet transmission should have already guessed by now that Raysync adopts UDP as its transmission protocol. The UDP port can be simply enabled through your office, studio’s network firewall or the router’s settings. Compared to TCP, UDP’s stability, security and risk of interception are all-round superior. In addition to adopting UDP, Raysync also added a public key authentication that only certain accounts or trusted devices are authorised to receive data. It is a terrific design for common users like us who have poor awareness of cybersecurity. Perhaps at this point, some people may still have doubts about how secure Raysync is, so this is a great opportunity to mention how many services Raysync actually offers. From the most fundamental ones to large file transfer, Raysync also provides acceleration for SSH, FTP and Proxy as well as massive transnational data transfer services to many industries such as Advertising, Media, Financial, Government and so on. These corporate giants especially the finance and government agencies demanded the highest grade of security requirements which Raysync delivers, so we have nothing to worry for. For instance, if you enter a wrong password too many times, the user account will be locked out and a protection mechanism to prevent brute-force attacks will be in place, so please feel at ease. In practice, when we are out for a site recce during pre-filming, we could create a shared folder and take photos with different composition, angles or details that could represent the scene, then take notes and upload them after discussion. This is especially useful when one can't have a face-to-face discussion with the photographers and post-production directors or when people are working across different locations and time zones, you can directly access the information compiled by your partners from the site recce and ensure that everyone has the same information. While discussing cinematography during the preliminary shooting, it is good to get into the habit of archiving massive data, establishing metadata and upload them. So when the filming permit gets approved, everyone arriving at the scene will at least be synchronized in regards to the concept and preparation, saving massive amounts of time compared to the previous shootings. Even during the post-production where editing and after effects needs to be in place, there is also a series of logic and parameters that can be followed for less unnecessary effort. Of course, to be fair, Raysync does come with its shortcomings, such as the need to open a specific port at the router. Although it’s very simple to operate, I think many small studios would probably have surrendered on this. Followed by the operating cost, which should be higher than having a home-based mid-level NAS. Although its speed and security are superior to NAS, you have to know that the folks in Taiwan have been particularly obsessed with the cost-performance ratio to an astounding degree. There is no way to reverse that in a short time. Perhaps SMBs or companies with a longer and more stable history would consider this type of product that needs maintenance. At this point, you might have felt like you've gotten some info from reading my review but felt nothing concrete at the same time. In fact, I had the same emotions from using Raysync in the beginning. I was neither using it specifically for dedicated tasks nor does it offer anything special to me, but it somehow integrated into my work seamlessly without my perception. When I realize it, my site recce, proposal planning, on-site shooting, post-production process, review and submission of films, etc. have already had Raysync's traces on it, supporting these tasks silently behind the scenes. Wait what? You were saying you don’t have a spare computer to act as a file server? Or why not just purchase a NAS? Or maybe you have no idea or doesn’t have the permission to open a specific firewall port on the router? These are some of the minor issues that Raysync’s support team dealt with on a daily basis. They could help you to deploy on a virtual hosting server, just like how websites are now popularly hosted, with the option of selecting as much storage and transmission bandwidth you desire while eliminating the need for hardware maintenance. So the amount of resources determines the power of your network, if it could help you to accomplish your projects, then this small cost could easily be justified!

Automatic file transfer is a term used to describe the movement of file programs. Usually, within an organization or between trading partners, automated business processes are used for file-based system-to-system transfers. Companies often use file transfer automation software to replace old scripts or unreliable manual processes. This can reduce support overhead and error rates, thereby increasing efficiency. Here are 6 best automatic file transfer solutions, I hope it can be helpful to you. 1. SFTP Client The easiest and cheapest option is to configure automation using a desktop SFTP client application. Its price is around 50 pounds, although it is cheap, it does have risks. It is not server-based, which means it relies on powered-on desktops and running applications. If you are dealing with complex workflows, then this is not an option. 2. Workflow Automation If you only need to automate the movement of data without the server to place the files, then a workflow automation tool is a good choice. The automation engine is a subset of the hosted file transfer below, which can move files between file servers, FTP servers, and cloud storage through a variety of value-added functions. 3. Managed File Transfer—MFT MFT usually, this includes server components not included above. Hosted file transfer solutions provide multiple delivery options to meet most automation needs. SFTP automation is one of the most common use cases, but many other delivery protocols are also suitable for automation. 4. Robotic Process Automation—RPA RPA provides file transfer automation is just the tip of the iceberg of RPA. Where file-based applications are insufficient, RPA supports integration with application GUI or web pages. Configure through the "demonstration" to the RPA tool, and then adopt the provided rules and automatically execute 24×7 without errors. 5. Integrated Platform Service—IPaaS iPaaS is a set of automation tools used to connect software applications deployed in different environments. iPaaS is usually used to integrate applications and data between the local and cloud. In batch file transfers, this type of solution is usually not strong. Sometimes additional components are needed to enter data into the platform. 6. Large File Transfer—Raysync The Raysync solution is dedicated to meeting the data transmission needs of the enterprise or with external partners, providing efficient and controllable accelerated transmission of large files, ultra-long distance, transnational network data transmission, safe distribution of file assets, file management and organizational authority management. Supports local deployment and cloud services, and provides enterprises with safe, stable, efficient and convenient large file interactive technical support and services. To Sum Up There are multiple file transfer automation software options, which can realize safe and automatic file transfer. The best choice for your business depends on your requirements, budget, and risk appetite.
